Tools for Data Service Resource Administration

This section describes the tools that you can use to perform installation and
configuration tasks.

SunPlex Manager Graphical User Interface (GUI)

SunPlex Manager is a web-based tool that enables you to perform the
following tasks.

Installing a cluster

Administering a cluster

Creating and configuring resources and resource groups

Configuring data services with the Oracle Solaris Cluster software

Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager provides wizards to automate the configuration of Oracle
Solaris Cluster data services for the following applications.

Apache Web Server

NFS

Oracle

Oracle Real Application Clusters

SAP Web Application Server

Each wizard enables you to configure Oracle Solaris Cluster resources that the data
service requires. The wizard does not automate the installation and configuration of the
application software to run in an Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration. To install and
configure application software to run in an Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration, use utilities
of the application and Oracle Solaris Cluster maintenance commands. For more information, see
your application documentation and the Oracle Solaris Cluster documentation set. Each wizard
supports only a limited subset of configuration options for a data service. To
configure options that a wizard does not support, use Oracle Solaris Cluster
Manager or Oracle Solaris Cluster maintenance commands to configure the data service manually.
For more information, see the Oracle Solaris Cluster documentation.

The Oracle Solaris Cluster module enables you to monitor clusters and to
perform some operations on resources and resource groups from the Sun Management Center
GUI. See the Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide for information about installation requirements and procedures for the Oracle
Solaris Cluster module. Go to http://docs.sun.com to access the Sun Management Center software documentation
set, which provides additional information about Sun Management Center.

clsetup Utility

The clsetup(1CL) utility is a menu-driven interface that you can use for general
Oracle Solaris Cluster administration. You can also use this utility to configure data
service resources and resource groups. Select option 2 from the clsetup main menu
to launch the Resource Group Manager submenu.
